Covert Cynosural Fields are a special variant of 'normal' Cynosural Fields which were discussed above. In a context, where you might speak of either version, cynos, which are not covert, are often called hard cynos. A Covert Cynosural Field is only visible on the overview if you are on grid and can be generated even in cyno jammed systems. The module to generate a covert cyno is named Covert Cynosural Field Generator and can only be fitted to certain ships. Those are [[Black Ops Battleship|Black Ops Battleship]], [[Blockade Runners]], [[Frigate#Covert_Ops_Frigate|Covert Ops Frigates]], [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|Force Recon Ships]], [[Stealth_Bomber|Stealth Bombers]], and [[Strategic_Cruiser|Strategic Cruisers]] (with the covert subsystem); further, the single hulls [[Etana]], [[Prospect]], and [[Rabisu]]. As a rule all ships which can fit a covert cloak (except the [[Sisters of EVE]] ships) can fit a covert cyno.

The Covert Cynosural Field Generator requires {{sk|Cynosural Field Theory|icon=yes}} at level 5. Its activation time and fuel consumption is only a tenth of the usual cyno. As Cynosural Field Theory has to be at five, it always only needs 25 Liquid Ozone which greatly reduces the cargo space needed. Otherwise, the module still immobilizes the ship generating the field and can only be used if it is slower than 500 m/s. The bonuses of [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|Force Recon Cruisers]] and Black Ops Battleships apply to covert cyno as well, which means they are pinned down for only 30 seconds.
